I'm happy to read what you've written about Dr. Karen Becker. I recently discovered an article she posted at <a href="http://Mercola.org" rel="nofollow noopener" title="Mercola.org">Mercola.org</a> back in 2012 on preventing oral disease in aging pets and was impressed by both the quality of the info provided and her clear presention. Like a good little librarian, I searched for contextual info on who she was and her reputation. The first thing I ran into was an article, supposedly written by a veterinarian, tearing her down head to toe like she was a numbskull. And that wasn't the vibe I'd gotten at all. Nice to find another professional opinion.</p>V.icarSun, 04 Jun 2017 00:46:45 -0000Re: 7 Signs that Your Dog Needs to See a Vethttp://evetclinic.com/7-signs-that-your-dog-needs-to-see-a-vet/#comment-3186994784<p>My dog hasn't been eating all day and he has been vomiting all over the place plus he hasn't been active like he usual is<br></p>Kyle adamSat, 04 Mar 2017 21:48:12 -0000Re: Coprophagia: Is Your Dog Eating Poop?http://evetclinic.com/coprophagia-is-your-dog-eating-poop/#comment-3041436339<p>I have a friend who feeds her dogs nothing but V-dog vegan kibbles. She has a relatively new (6 months ownership) rescue dog (a chihuahua). He ate some cat poop on a walk, and when she tried to take it away from him, he wolfed it down. She is adamant about not feeding meat, so I wonder if there is another way to help get that dog more balanced nutrition.</p>Suki49Wed, 07 Dec 2016 19:23:18 -0000Re: 7 Signs that Your Dog Needs to See a Vethttp://evetclinic.com/7-signs-that-your-dog-needs-to-see-a-vet/#comment-2866980399<p>Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and so as my first time to become a foster parent to our pit mix. We got her from the animal shelter 2 days ago and seemed so fine normal and energetic. When she first came in to the house she ate a lot, very hyper, and pretty active when we are to walk her out. However 48 hrs later she act so differently that we start to get worried about because she barely eat and barely drinks her water, sleeps a lot, and never in a mood to walk nor move. She only move at her own pace which is not really the dog we once used to for the past two days. And we noticed that she's having some mucus discharges too. We brought her to the vet and was provided antibiotics, like oral medication and vitamins, and never say a thing only that the vet told us that it could be more of a respiratory kind of illness. Now, what we are struggling about is how to let her swallow her medicines the fact that she doesn't eat. please help, THANK YOU. </p>MelTue, 30 Aug 2016 08:46:27 -0000Re: 7 Signs that Your Dog Needs to See a Vethttp://evetclinic.com/7-signs-that-your-dog-needs-to-see-a-vet/#comment-2804898816<p>Take him to the vet</p>Daniel BeattyTue, 26 Jul 2016 16:11:39 -0000Re: 7 Signs that Your Dog Needs to See a Vethttp://evetclinic.com/7-signs-that-your-dog-needs-to-see-a-vet/#comment-2804832104<p>I have a 9 week old lab an he will not eat he is drinking but want eat any thing an checked his gums an they r pink so what should I do plz reply asap don't have much time our vet closes early asap please<br></p>angieTue, 26 Jul 2016 15:37:23 -0000Re: 7 Signs that Your Dog Needs to See a Vethttp://evetclinic.com/7-signs-that-your-dog-needs-to-see-a-vet/#comment-2752165489<p>Came home was crying could not stand up took to vet said she hurt herself he said she has wipeblast but turns in cyrcles when she is hand feed and walks to one side are the other when going down hall</p>DodieSun, 26 Jun 2016 19:25:03 -0000Re: A Few Good Dog Lovershttp://evetclinic.com/a-few-good-dog-lovers/#comment-2638201968<p>I gave my dog interceptor plus on Weds and that night he vomited.

She puked almost immediately after and I saw a lot of the capsules in the throw up. She keeps throwing up and isn't urinating its been 24 hours.

On Thursday I took her back to the Vet cuz she fell off the couch and her walking was getting worse. They then have her Carprofen 75mg 1/2 tablet everyday and increased the tramadol to 3/4 tablet. They told me to keep her testing in her kennel and not walking around b</p><p>As of yesterday she is not walking at all. She is still eating and drinking and has urine and stool output. She actually will urinate some when I pick her up.</p><p>I am not sure if coming to see you will help or if you can even get her in soon?</p><p>Any advice you can give would be great or let me know if I can bring her in for a consultation. I was told you might be able to do acupuncture to help her? My husband wants me to have her put to sleep but I am to make sure it's a very last resort before I go that and I can't afford to take her to a neurologist and have a $4000 surgery or whatever it would cost to put a plate in her neck and not even sure if it would work. <br>I would prefer to try you first but soon would be better.</p><p>Thank you for your time and help.

She has a seizure every 10 to 30 minutes and hasnt been sleeping very much because anytime she does she wakes up minutes later to a seizure. She was diagnosed with having epilepsy. She has been taking 1 cc of phenobarbital for 24 hours. Another concern is that she has been eating but hasn't gone to the restroom. She keeps falling forward and looks as if she just wants to give up. Shes very tired and constantly walks around the entire house until she has her next seizure. We're not sure what to do. We don't like seeing her like this.</p>linaFri, 18 Apr 2014 04:10:55 -0000Re: You Have Questions, We Have Answers: Veterinarian Stylehttp://evetclinic.com/you-have-questions-we-have-answers-veterinarian-style/#comment-1277932459<p>My aussie shephard is limping. Vet is not available until after tomorrow (we live way out in the country). He has a bump on his side (upper chest, just behind his front paw). Also has other small bumps on ghis chest. Not sure if this is whats hurting him - as it never seemed to bother him before. Checked his paw and leg - doesn't seem to hurt him. He won't put weight on tnat leg. Can i give him any tylenol or ibuprophen (have liquide chidrens stuff). He weighs about 65 lbs.</p><p>Nancy</p>NancySun, 09 Mar 2014 17:36:26 -0000Re: Hoppy: A Happy Testimonialhttp://evetclinic.com/hoppy-a-happy-testimonial/#comment-1265040749<p>I love hearing happy vet stories!</p>litebriteFri, 28 Feb 2014 17:24:28 -0000Re: You Have Questions, We Have Answers: Veterinarian Stylehttp://evetclinic.com/you-have-questions-we-have-answers-veterinarian-style/#comment-1188701491<p>Take her to a veterinarian.

Beautiful, happy dogs. So easy to feel like they know exactly what they are "singing". "Ooooh, yeah!" The line "catch me as I fall to the ground brings tears to my eyes. I had to "catch" my dogs and cats. Family and friends say I am the best owner those pets could have, because I didn't quit on them when the going got tough.</p><p> I had two cats both live to very old ages, but eventually developed cancer. One of my two dogs had mouth cancer removed. The other had epilepsy. I hope research can find the triggers for these cancers. Seems awfully odd for the cancer rate to be so high. Makes me question what we are feeding them.</p><p>I would love to know who the human singers are. </p>inthenorthWed, 20 Nov 2013 04:25:27 -0000Re: Neutering Your Dog – 3 Problems with Neutering Earlyhttp://evetclinic.com/neutering-your-dog-3-problems-with-neutering-early/#comment-1066523656<p>The "best" time would be to wait until growth plates are closed and that is variable depending on the size of the dog. However the current thinking of holistic vets is that removing the sex glands is not in the best interest of the health of the dog.</p>Daniel BeattyTue, 01 Oct 2013 17:23:38 -0000Re: Neutering Your Dog – 3 Problems with Neutering Earlyhttp://evetclinic.com/neutering-your-dog-3-problems-with-neutering-early/#comment-1066521936<p>Well to be honest - no one knows for sure. Did it contribute? According to some research it certainly is possible that it contributed to the growth plate issues, but to what extent we do not know yet. More research has to be done.</p>Daniel BeattyTue, 01 Oct 2013 17:22:05 -0000Re: Neutering Your Dog – 3 Problems with Neutering Earlyhttp://evetclinic.com/neutering-your-dog-3-problems-with-neutering-early/#comment-1066473492<p>Our Doxie was 6 months old when we had him neutered. He developed growth plate problems in month 9 that required extensive surgery. The breeder was really nice but suggested we caused it by neutering early. What is your take on this. We love him, bad "knees" and all :-).</p>LynnTue, 01 Oct 2013 16:44:41 -0000Re: A Dream in the Making &#8211; Mission: Small Businesshttp://evetclinic.com/a-dream-in-the-making/#comment-1056036430<p>I think it's awesome to see so many new <a href="http://www.animalhealthclinicoflc.com/services.html" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.animalhealthclinicoflc.com/services.html">veterinary services</a> popping up.
